Manufactured in India, supplied in Sydney
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Sydney
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Sydney. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Port Botany.
- Material
- 100% PET non-woven, the panel family
- Thickness
- 9 to 24 mm
- Size
- Made to the drawing, standard and custom
- Exposure
- Both faces work, which is why suspended area outperforms the same area laid flat
- Test standard
- ASTM C423
- Lead time
- Confirmed against the drawing
- Minimum order
- 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m
- ASTM C423
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
We make this ourselves and ship it to you. No local branch, no borrowed certifications, no dealer margin. One batch across the whole order, and an honest answer when the product is wrong for the problem.
01 / The product
What this is, and what it changes in a Sydney room
PET felt suspended from the soffit, vertically as baffles or horizontally as clouds. It is how you treat a room with exposed services, where there is no ceiling to line.
Work reaching us from Sydney is mostly apartment developments, offices, venues, schools, clinics, studios.
Timber frame in detached housing, concrete in apartments. Apartment party walls and slabs are the source of most complaints, and impact noise needs a resilient layer.
- Vertical baffles Hung on edge in rows. Both faces absorb, so coverage figures based on plan area understate them.
- Horizontal clouds Flat rafts over the occupied zone, which also reflect early speech energy back down where it helps.
- Mixed with services Set out around ducts, trays and lighting rather than fighting them, coordinated from your reflected ceiling plan.
- What it will not do Baffles are efficient, not magic. In a very tall volume the height above the baffle line still rings, and the honest answer is either more area or accepting a higher RT, not a denser panel.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for baffles and clouds are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Sydney.

02 / Specification
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
Nothing below changes by location. The decisions that do change are grade, thickness and how the material is mounted, and those are covered further down.
- EchoCore 151500 GSM. Offices, retail, general
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Halls, atria, spaces with a target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High volume and high occupancy

If a consultant has set the target, we will quote against their figures rather than ours, and stay out of the scope they own. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
What decides the build-up in Sydney
- Apartments at volume
The same separating detail repeated across large developments. When it underperforms it underperforms in every unit, and that becomes a defect conversation.
- Mixed construction
Concrete frames with lightweight internal walls. The frame blocks, the partitions often do not, and people assume the opposite.
- Venues under homes
Late trading beneath apartments built around them, so the separating floor decides the hours.
- A long sea leg
One of the longer routes we run. Ordering to a real schedule matters, so we quote the full window.
- School and campus buildings
School buildings run hard floors and high ceilings, and open plan learning areas make speech intelligibility the central problem rather than echo.
If you are specifying for a Sydney project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Durability in Sydney, before acoustics is discussed
Sydney is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH.
The risk we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
For a Sydney interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
What the route into Sydney actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Port Botany, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Port Botany |
| Packing | Flat packed with fixings, sets labelled by row so the install sequence matches the drawing. |
| Lead time | Confirmed against the drawing. Standard sizes 4 to 7 working days. |
Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
Sea freight into Port Botany, then a short road run to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export.
| Baffles and clouds | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
|---|
Baffles and clouds are cut to the drawing, so the minimum is counted on finished panel area. Both faces of a hung baffle absorb, which is why coverage taken off a plan understates what the order actually does.
06 / Straight talk
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
The wrong product for the problem
Baffles are efficient, not magic. In a very tall volume the height above the baffle line still rings, and the honest answer is either more area or accepting a higher RT, not a denser panel.
-
A number chased without a measurement
If nobody has measured the room or set a target, the specification is a guess with a decimal point in it. We will ask for the target before we quote the quantity.

Suppliers who imply a Sydney presence
Ask any supplier where the material is made and who carries the warranty. We make it at Palwal in Haryana and we say so on every page, including this one.
Sydney: questions we are actually asked
Are these ceiling baffles and clouds made in Sydney?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Sydney as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Port Botany. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Sydney build-up differ from anywhere else?
The same separating detail repeated across large developments. When it underperforms it underperforms in every unit, and that becomes a defect conversation. Concrete frames with lightweight internal walls. The frame blocks, the partitions often do not, and people assume the opposite. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Sydney conditions?
Sydney is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season. PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH. The failure we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
What is the delivery time into Sydney?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Port Botany, then a short road run to site, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
What should you not buy ceiling baffles and clouds for?
Baffles are efficient, not magic. In a very tall volume the height above the baffle line still rings, and the honest answer is either more area or accepting a higher RT, not a denser panel.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export. Baffles and clouds, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. Baffles and clouds are cut to the drawing, so the minimum is counted on finished panel area. Both faces of a hung baffle absorb, which is why coverage taken off a plan understates what the order actually does. Flat packed with fixings, sets labelled by row so the install sequence matches the drawing.

We quote from drawings, not from a square foot rate. Send a plan and the section through the critical wall or ceiling and you will get something you can actually build from.
